SUMMING UP
-
Learning by heart.
-
Written exercises.
-
Probably
students don’t know what they are writing about and why.
Mechanical
exercise
-
Use
of memory.
-
Should
be dealt with first orally.
Usually, the mechanical exercise that are done in
class are based on the use of memory, so the only way possible it’s learn by hard.
We’ve seen a
video exposing how this method works, where the teacher has started with a
presentation of the lesson (how it’s going to be developed). The second stage
is the input, which the students are given the time to understand the role play.
Then they must repeat after the teacher. As the sentences are very
long, they are divided in parts.
Our pupils must
see how we articulate our mouth; this will help them to learn the language.
